Rap your McDonald's order at your own risk

It's generally a bad idea to try things you saw in a viral video, as four Utah teens learned this week when they were cited by police after rapping their McDonald's order. Personally, I think the only crime here is that they were re-enacting a 3-year-old YouTube clip that your in-laws have probably even seen (but we've included it below, just in case). Apparently they were also committing disorderly conduct by delaying the drive-through line and making an employee feel "her safety was at risk." So, as a public service, AdFreak would like give a nugget of advice to the teens of America: If Taco Bell's ad team has already beaten you to co-opting some lame white-boy Internet meme, it might be time to find a new prank.

I admit, I can't pull up to a drive thru without having to fight the urge to bust out with, "What's up Stephanie, how ya doin' today?"
But then, I'm a 33-year old woman, so I have the capacity to realize how lame I am.

I think you need to look up "Bon Qui Qui" on Youtube for the real version.

... why on earth would the employee's safety be at risk by someone rapping their order? There's something that seems blatantly racist about that.

As everyone might guess, the real crime these teens were arrested for: "White kids trying to rap."
